<Snipped quote by Unhinged>

*Crosses both of my arms in front of me into an X with my fists at my shoulders and my thumbs up, flashing a huge grin*
Joe over there—he’s not much of a singer, but he sure can dance. Let’s make it a show to remember!

@Session

Incredible! You don't even know the stakes yet you are incredibly eager!

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Inimical>

*Grumbles*
I hate this.

@Nimda

*Nods*
Though how much spotlight you get is entirely up to you, after all.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

What do ya mean? This is awesome!

@Session

What’s not to love?

None of—

*Grins and waves with both hands*
Lily and Gio, adventure extraordinaires!

@Session

Let’s hear it for Lily and Joe, everyone!
*The concert-goers let out a thunderous, whooping cheer that drowns out the music and echoes over the valley below*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Inimical>

*Flexes each of my fingers and reaches into a newly-formed pair of black magic circles, retrieving identical dual pistols with square barrels, which appear to be whole-carved from a single piece of metal*
We better be getting paid for this.

@Nimda

Care to introduce yourselves, up-and-comers?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

Is this what you called about, or is this a bonus?

@Nimda

*The doors to the base are burst open by a huge gust of wind, revealing a massive floating platform hovering outside the base holding several thousand people all partying under colorful lights blaring through the night sky*
There. It. Is!
*The crowd explodes into a roar of chaotic applause as music continues*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Abominations>

*The rune detonates, blasting you with a torrent of destructive magic*

<Snipped quote by Inimical>

*Takes the opportunity to blast you several times in the face*

@System

*Before the smoke clears, I thrust my hand out and grab your head with one hand, unleashing a torrent of explosions from my palm directly onto your head*
Let me show you why a master of the craft from my age surpasses all you could even imagine.
*The force of gravity violently reverses on you, multiplying your weight and forcing you to fall upwards accordingly*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Inimical>

*The netting ejects from the wall and binds around Akora without restricting her movement, but absorbs impacts on her behalf*
On your right.
*Unholsters my blaster with the flick of a switch and shoots past both of you, and rather than the combatant, the shot hits the wall near the red barrier, leaving a white-hot rune on contact that glows with more intense light with every passing moment*

@System

*Ignores it, tossing the butt end of the broken gun up into the air, it glows a dim green but quickly becomes a violently bright green before exploding, hurling countless tiny bits of shrapnel into every point in the room and sticking corrosive elemental energy into everyone*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Inimical>

It appears that the hidden element you lack is that of surprise.
*Spreads my fingers on one hand, the webbing stretched from fingertip to palm, and plucks at one of the threads, unleashing crescents of invisible cutting force that bend around Akora*

@System

*Narrows my gaze, the force visibly impacting a red barrier that only makes itself apparent on impact with the ranged attack, several feet from me*
I’m annoyed at all the interruptions to my goal here… But, so long as I walk away with a prize…
*The bayoneted half of my blade becomes enveloped in teal energy, effectively converting it from a broken rifle into a large battle axe made from raw power, which I turn and swing Akora’s way*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Inimical>

*Tugs on the original webbing, now returned to my hand, erupting the passageway in devastating flame that wraps around Akora*

@System

*After a brief moment. The flames in the room swirl rapidly around and consolidate into a single point, floating above my palm*
I expected you lot to test your luck again. I didn’t expect you to be in such a rush to do it.
